Sir Isaac Newton. A statue made from a melted canon stands on St. Peter's Hill in Grantham celebrating the life of her most famous son: Isaac Newton was one of the most famous scientists that ever lived.

He is especially famous for his inquiry into the nature of Gravity, which - at least the story goes - was initiated by an apple falling from a tree.
